Androids are humanoid robots Androids are robots which imitate human looks and behavior. Speaking more precisely, they are mechanical devices automatically executing certain tasks.          Until very recently Androids remained within the domain of virtual reality such as films, television, games and books. This has changed very recently as the most advanced technology known to mankind allows us to design such complex “creatures”. Those robots, which have made it into the real, outside world, still look and act very fake, but this will change in the closest future, sooner than we expect.          This raises an important and also philosophical questions, and it seems we should work out how those should be answered, even before we are going to think about releasing such robots and make them part of our everyday life. I would like to ask s...

A few weeks ago there was an article about board games on this blog. This week I would like to tell you about one specific genre of board games - wargames and especially about one of them called Little Wars . Wargames Probably you’ve heard about those geeky people who gather in dark cellars or attics, put armies of tiny metal or plastic soldiers (each and everyone must be carefully hand painted before!) to the table and try to kill their opponents’ armies of those tiny figurines. Sounds creepy but probably you have such gamers among your friends as this is a very popular hobby. Unfortunately also a very expensive and time consuming (assembly of models and especially painting them) one. One thing is sure. Wargames are not for everyone. Most of them have complicated rules and because they are strategy games rules are just a beginning. To show superiority above your opponents you have to not only master the rules but also learn to think like a military officer. Shoot to kill, accept...

Movie production is an iterative process. It starts with just a simple idea but its goal is astonishing product loved by millions. This process rarely takes months, more often these are years and in some cases even decades. It consists of three main steps (or milestones if you prefer): Pre-production - a process of developing a story and it’s background from an idea. Production - the time when actors and actresses perform in front of cameras. Post-production - the moment when everything is mixed, retouched and very often recreated from scratch in a digital form. In this article I will try to give you a primer on the pre-production phase which is very often called the most important part of movie production process. Many movies were never produced because during this phase it turned out that they are really bad. Even more movies that should never have been produced slipped through it wasting millions of investor’s dollars. It is composed of three main sub-phases: ...

Freeride was born in France in Val d’Isère and Switzerland in Gstaad in 1959. Initially they approached the uphill with ski equipment. Climbing all the way on foot. http://powder.pl/sites/default/files/artykuly/1969.jpg But in the 60s an idea to use a helicopter to go the top mountain (Heliskiing) was born. Unfortunately this method is still quite expensive. Firstly, helicopters were used only for filming, then it turned out to be a very convenient and enjoyable way to climb the mountain. http://powder.pl/sites/default/files/artykuly/Group%20Skiing%20with%20Helicopter,%20Brad%20White.jpg In 1975 another method, catskiing, emerged. People stared to use specially adopted groomers instead of helicopters. Snowcats are cheaper and easier to use. After a few years, both in France and ...
